Rowers pack their way to success

Girvan Coastal Rowing managed to raise over £400 at their latest fundraising effort earlier this month.

The team collected £401.88 through a bag packing day at Asda Girvan earlier this month.

The money will help to buy new oars, fenders and a cover for the rowing boat, “Creag Ealasaid”.

Treasurer Ian McClymont said: “Shoppers at Asda Girvan have been very generous to the Club. “We are indebted to Asda staff for giving us this opportunity to raise funds. ”

Anyone interested in local coastal rowing is welcome to join the rowing club for a free taster rowing session. Regular rowing takes place at Girvan Harbour on Tuesdays, from 6.30pm and on Sundays from 2pm. Contact Girvan.rowing@btinternet.com
